Cancelarul Germaniei critică înțelegerea dintre Trump și Putin privind aprovizionarea cu motorină

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz criticized the recent energy agreement between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, calling it a mistake. He emphasized that such decisions are not an option for Germany or Europe, as they maintain sanctions against Russia. The agreement, which involves a temporary suspension of U.S. sanctions on Russian energy, was made to address rising global fuel prices amid Middle Eastern tensions. Merz argued that Russia only negotiates under pressure and that the current energy price issues stem from refining capacity, not supply shortages. He urged European allies to strengthen economic sanctions against Russia in response to its actions in Ukraine. Trump defended his decision, accusing Europe of hypocrisy regarding energy payments to Russia.
